A lawyer, Rakesh Kishore, who previously attempted to throw a shoe at a former Chief Justice of India, was allegedly attacked inside the Karkardooma district court premises in Delhi. The incident, reportedly stemming from an auto fare dispute, was captured on video and circulated on social media.
The Delhi woman had claimed that she was kidnapped and raped by five men for two days.
A trial judge, who has been critical of the "callous and farcical" probe of Delhi police in some riots cases of 2020 and had once observed that failure to conduct a proper investigation will torment "sentinels of democracy," was on Wednesday transferred to another court in the national capital.
Hussain was produced before the duty magistrate amid tight security late in the evening and neither the media nor any lawyer, other then those connected with the case, was allowed inside the courtroom.
Hussain has been booked in the murder case of the IB staffer in northeast Delhi amid violence over the new citizenship law last week.
